Definitions
- the present invention relates to novel cyclohexylcyclohexene derivatives that are useful as electrooptic display materials.
- liquid-crystal display cells include the dynamic scattering mode cell proposed by G.H. Heilmeier et al. in Appl. Phys. Letters, 13 , 46 (1968), the field-effect mode cell proposed by M. Schadt et al. in Appl. Phys. Letters, 18 , 127 (1971), and the quest-host mode cell proposed by G.H. Heilmeier et al. in Appl. Phys. Letters, 13 , 91 (1968).
- liquid-crystal materials used in these liquid-crystal display cells While various characteristics are required of liquid-crystal materials used in these liquid-crystal display cells, the most important one which must be shared by all display cells is that they have a nematic phase over a broad range of temperatures including room temperature. Many of the practically feasible liquid-crystal materials satisfying this requirement are usually prepared by mixing several or more components including a compound having a nematic phase at a temperature in the vicinity of room temperature and a compound having the nematic phase in the temperature range higher than room temperature. Many of such mixed liquid crystals commercially used today are at least required to have a nematic phase over the entire range of temperatures from -30°C to +65°C.
- An object, therefore, of the present invention is to provide a novel liquid-crystal compound that has a high N-I point and a low C-N or S-N point.
- the compound of formula (I) of the present invention can be produced by one of the following methods: (in the reaction scheme described above, R, n and Y have the same meanings as defined for formula (I); and Z is a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, a straight-chained alkyl or alkoxyl group having 1 - 9 carbon atoms). (in the reaction scheme described above, R, n and Y have the same meanings as defined for formula (I); and Z is a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, a straight-chained alkyl or alkoxyl group having 1 - 9 carbon atoms).
- a compound of formula (II) is reacted with a magnesium power in an ether-based solvent such as anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (hereinafter abbreviated as THF) at 15 - 30°C for 1 - 2 hr to prepare a compound of formula (III).
- THF anhydrous tetrahydrofuran
- a solution of a compound of formula (IV) in anhydrous THF is added at 5 - 20°C and the mixture is subjected to reaction at 10 - 30°C for 30 min to 1 hr; thereafter, the reaction product is decomposed with a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride to prepare a compound of formula (V).
- the compound of formula (V) is subjected to reaction in a water-insoluble inert solvent such as toluene for 0.1 - 8 hr under reflux in the presence of an acidic catalyst such as p-toluenesulfonic acid; after cooling the reaction mixture, the solvent layer is washed first with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate, then with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride; after drying, the solvent is distilled off and the crude reaction product is recrystallized from an alcoholic solvent such as ethanol to prepare a compound of formula (VI).
- a water-insoluble inert solvent such as toluene for 0.1 - 8 hr under reflux in the presence of an acidic catalyst such as p-toluenesulfonic acid
- the compound of formula (VI) is dissolved in a water-insoluble inert solvent and catalytically reduced at 20 - 80°C for 6 - 30 hr at a hydrogen pressure of no more than 3 kg/cm2 in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst such as platinum oxide or Raney nickel to prepare a compound of formula (VII).
- a hydrogenation catalyst such as platinum oxide or Raney nickel
- the compound of formula (VII) is dissolved in an inert solvent such as toluene and reacted with an acidic aqueous solution such as dilute sulfuric acid for 5 - 6 hr under reflux; after cooling the reaction mixture, the solvent layer is washed with water, dried and freed of the solvent by distillation; the crude reaction product is purified by column chromatography on silica gel and further purified by recrystallization from a mixed solvent of n-hexane and toluene to prepare a compound of formula (VIII).
- an inert solvent such as toluene
- an acidic aqueous solution such as dilute sulfuric acid for 5 - 6 hr under reflux
- a compound of formula (IX) is converted to a lithium salt by reaction with lithium in an ether-based solvent such as anhydrous diethyl ether under reflux for 2 - 9 h; to the lithium salt, a solution of the compound of formula (VIII) in an ether-based solvent such as anhydrous diethyl either is added at -20°C to +5°C and reaction is performed at 5 - 25°C for 30 min; the reaction mixture is decomposed with water and the reaction product is extracted with toluene; the extract is washed with water, dried and freed of the solvent by distillation to prepare a compound of formula (X).
- an ether-based solvent such as anhydrous diethyl ether under reflux for 2 - 9 h
- a solution of the compound of formula (VIII) in an ether-based solvent such as anhydrous diethyl either is added at -20°C to +5°C and reaction is performed at 5 - 25°C for 30 min; the reaction mixture is decomposed with water
- the compound of formula (X) is dissolved in n-hexane or toluene; the solution is added to an acetonitrile solution of iodo-trimethylsilane prepared from chlorotrimethylsilane and sodium iodide in acetonitrile and the mixture is subjected to reaction at 5 - 10°C for 30 min - 1 h; in this way, a reaction mixture composed of compounds of formulas (XIV-a), (XIV-b), (XV-a) and (XV-b) is prepared from the compound of formula (X) via an intermediate composed of compounds of formulas (XII), (XIII-a) and (XIII-b).
- a base such as 1,8-diaza-bicyclo(5,4,0)undecene-7 (hereinafter abbreviated as DBU) is added and reaction is performed at 5 - 30°C for 5 - 20 hr so as to prepare compounds of formulas (XIV-a) and (XIV-b) from compounds of formulas IXV-a) and (XV-b), respectively.
